My cycles are usually long, 30 days or more. If my husband and I have unprotected sex 3 days after the end of my period, what are my chances of becoming pregnant?

Hello Mesha,
Identifying your fertile days can be more challenging when you have long menstrual cycles. In general, it is often difficult to know exactly when ovulation will happen. Some women will use an ovulation tracker.
Doctors recommend that couples who are trying to conceive should have unprotected sexual intercourse between day 7 and 20 of a woman's menstrual cycle.
Sperm can live inside a woman’s body for 3-5 days. However, a released egg only lives for 4 to 12 hours. The highest pregnancy rates have been reported when the egg and sperm join together within 4 to 6 hours of ovulation.
I think having unprotected sex only three days after the end of your period was too early because you would not be ovulating this soon.
